Feig has already worked with Melissa McCarthy and Maya Rudolph in the past on the blockbuster hit Bridesmaids, so casting those two would be a no-brainer. Plus, if the past two Golden Globe Awards have proved anything, it’s that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler know how to charm a crowd.

The careers of these two comedy queens wouldn’t have been the same if they had never met and hit it off at a Chicago improv group. Poehler, for example, was the first to move to New York; Fey later did too, and that’s when she landed her Saturday Night Live gig. After years of asking Poehler to join the cast, she finally agreed, and the rest is Golden Globes–hosting history.
